Wanderlei Silva's lawyer says commission can't punish him

MMA legend Wanderlei Silva declined to submit to a Nevada Athletic Commission random drug test at his Las Vegas gym last spring despite being tabbed to fight months later at UFC 175 against Chael Sonnen. Sonnen himself would fail two random drug tests administered by the NAC.

The NAC has filed a complaint against Silva and looked to deal with his case at a recent hearing but pushed him off of the agenda when the Brazilian's attorney Ross Goodman contended that the commission did not have jurisdiction to test Silva at the time they tried because his license to fight in the state was not current.

In an interview with MMA Fighting this week, Goodman maintained that position, adding that Silva had not yet even signed a bout agreement to face Sonnen, despite the fact that the UFC, and indeed Silva and Sonnen themselves, had been promoting the summer match up for months, including while taping an entire season of The Ultimate Fighters as opposing coaches.

Goodman said that he's looking forward to making his case at a future NAC hearing. "We?re looking forward to having that hearing, and looking forward to making those arguments in a public forum," he said.

"Hopefully, we can prevail to common sense with respect to the commissioners," Goodman said. "It can?t be more black and white. Everybody understands that you have to consent, you have to be a licensee before anybody can take any sort of action against you. I think everybody understands the fact that you can?t discipline somebody who is not licensed before you. It?s just as plain as that.

"The actual complaint is that Wanderlei violated their drug policy, and if you look at the statute, you look at the section that they?re trying to discipline Wanderlei under a clear state that you have to be a licensee...It makes all the difference in the world. It expressly says you have to be a licensee. This is plain as simple as that.

"[The NAC] takes one section out of context when says ?a person.? Before I even explain that, if they valid what he?s saying, the commission would have the authority to discipline anybody that?s a person. That is absurd. That?s unreasonable. If you look at the statute that they took it from, the statute is a licensee statute. You have to read everything in context. There?s no statute which talks about that they can discipline somebody because they are person.

"Unlike Chael or other people, [Silva] had not signed a bout agreement, he wasn?t under contract, and he wasn?t a licensee. You can?t go have somebody to submit to a test because they?re potentially going to a fight on a feature card."

Goodman went on to say that, should the NAC not see things he and Silva's way, he will seek remedy in front of a court and judge. We'll keep you posted on developments with this story, including responses from the NAC, as they occur.

Tarec Saffiedine: 'I have the tools to beat Rory MacDonald'

UFC welterweight Tarec Saffiedine has won five straight bouts and believes he's one or two wins away from a title shot, as he heads into his Oct. 4 UFC Fight Night 54 main event against Rory MacDonald in Canada. According to the fighter out of Belgium, George St. Pierre's absence has left the 170 pound division wide open.

"It's been quite crazy...since GSP left the division," he said at this week's UFC fight Night 54 press conference.

"Everybody is, I believe, one or two fights away from a title shot, in the top ten, top fifteen. So, it's pretty stacked and I'm super excited to be a part of it."

As for his fight against MacDonald, who has won two-straight and seven out of his last eight, Saffiedine believes he's got the style to beat the home-town hero.�"I believe I stack up pretty well," he said.

"I truly believe that my style can match up pretty well with his style. When I was watching [MacDonald's last fight, against Tyron Woodley] I could tell that I have the tools to, stylistically match up pretty well with him...I'm training really hard to put on an amazing fight and get the 'W'."

Dana White apologizes for removing judge in Macau

The UFC released a statement Tuesday in which it conceded that president Dana White had no authority to order judge Howard Hughes to be yanked from his assignments at a fight card on Saturday at Cotai Arena at The Venetian in Macau.

An admittedly angry White pulled Hughes after Hughes scored the first two fights of the night.�

That would not have occurred in a jurisdicition with a regulatory body, but because there is no commission in China, the UFC self regulates. But Marc Ratner, the UFC's vice president of regulatory affairs and�the man who normally handles such duties for the UFC, did not attend the show. He was at the card in Tulsa, Okla., later Saturday.

The UFC's full statement, which it posted on UFC.com:

After an internal review, the UFC organization announced today that a breach of its independent regulatory protocol occurred on Saturday night during UFC FIGHT NIGHT MACAO.

After the second fight of the night, UFC President Dana White requested that Howard Hughes, one of the event's five assigned judges, be removed from working any further bouts. Pursuant to UFC's protocol, neither White nor any other UFC executive possesses such authority. Nevertheless, protocol was breached and Hughes did not work further bouts on Saturday night.

The UFC organization has always been in support of government regulation and oversight. Additionally, the UFC has established a protocol when required to self-regulate events due to the lack of an official athletic commission, federation or other regulatory body.� In those instances where UFC holds events in locations without a regulatory body, the UFC's protocol dictates that the organization's internal regulators will handle all commission functions independently and without interference by company executives or employees.

The UFC remains committed to maintaining the strictest regulatory environment for competition and vows that no similar breach of protocol will happen again.

Both White and the UFC apologize to Mr. Hughes for calling his professional judgment into question. Hughes has judged more than 25 UFC fight cards and the UFC looks forward to him working on its events again in the future.

Promoters can't be allowed to have influence over the judges and referees during a card, and the UFC correctly recognized this.�

UFC 177 Embedded: Episodes 1 and 2

The first two episodes of the latest fun behind-the-scenes mini-documentary series, UFC Embedded, has earthquakes, training, goofing around and opponent taunting, taking place on two continents. TJ Dillashaw shocked the world last spring when he dethroned then-UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao.

Now, the two are facing one another in an immediate rematch this weekend. The rematch is ill-advised for multiple reasons, most importantly Barao's health (he was badly hurt by Dillashaw a couple of short months ago and has had virtually no time to recover before jumping back into training camp), but it is nontheless a compelling one.

And UFC 177 Embedded brings fans into the final week of preparation before the big title bout this Saturday night in Sacramento. Check out the first episode above, and the second one below.

Later in the week, we'll continue to bring you the newest episodes as they are released!
